Mhm. Crazy stuff right?

 

I did this the other day. Didn't really like it at first, but its growing on me slowly.

 

 

Is this the electric lime green from the full spectrum colors?

 

yerp

 

Love elg!

 

lol the general fall out of everyones opinion has been negative on facebook and some other forums 0 ***** givin or i would have gone murdered out

 

Hahaha sounds like the same **** I've gotten for my orange.

"You have a cobalt with orange rims.. Why would I take your opinion on cars" is my hall of fame comment

 

Haters gonna hate

 

this.

I got hate for my color choice (see signature).... quite a few compliments in person too.. but either way, it's my car.

I could go on for hours about stupidity of stanced/slammed cars and stretched tires, function over form, if you can call it that, but it's their car, and that's what they want to do with it. And my opinion or their opinion is just that: personal opinion.

I believe if I don't have anything positive to say about someones ride - I won't say anything at all.

 

if only there was a sense of community among car enthusiast instead of seeing what you don't like see the hard work they put into there ride to make it unique i like your color scheme. we needa make osme stickers " Original as f*ck"

 

thanks, man. I appreciate that.

 

quick question
I want to dip my whole car.
my car's currently silver.
I want to make it all black, with the color not being a matte finish
would the black followed by a glossifier coat make it seem more like an actual car paint?
I sort of like the matte finish but would like it to shine a bit

do i need a base coat like grey or something before the black?

thanks

 

Tried using plastidip for the first time ever. Had some wheels that were pretty curb rashed up I bought from another member here. Sanded the damage down the best I could, bought some snow tires, and then painted them black.

Took my time and taped off everything I didn't want painted. Learned real quick that you have to remove the tape wet. Center caps were done separately. 5 coats on the front and 2-3 coats on the rear/barrel.

Crappy cellphone picture:

 

From what i understand only the Blaze colors require a base coat and its optional otherwise i used black on rally yellow and on chrome and you cant see the original color

 

No base coat required.

You could try silver metallizer over black (glossifier with metal flake in it). Otherwise good ol' glossifier will work.

The beauty of plasti dip is that you can do it in stages. Do your whole car matte black. Drive around like that for a while see if you like it. If it grows on you - cool. If not - order a gallon of glossifier or metalizer, wash the car, and spray it over.. Plasti dip will adhere to the previous coat without any issues. Make sure the car is dry though. Dip doesn't like wet surfaces.

 

Hate to admit it but have once again found a love for plastidip lol



White base coat
Blaze purple
Gold metalizer
Glossifier top coat

 

Wowwwww is that dried??? Pics of it on car now

 

I think that looks absolutely awesome. Well done.

 

Those look SWEET, brother.

 

Can you let us know how many coats of each layer you did on the purple wheel ?

 

2 white
One heavy coat purple
Couplet sprits of metalizer
Heavy coat of glossifier

 

Just a picture from my phone, but the cars got gunmetal gray with gloss on it. Took the wheels off and did the inside and out. Turned out good.

 

i kinda hate coming on here sometimes because i see all the amazing looking cobalts, and then there's mine, and i have to save up an extraordinary long time to buy stuff. =/
hood looks like ****, honestly, needs more coats i'm assuming.

 

your hood hinge bent?

i have a buddy that lives in san antonio tx that plastidips cars for a living.
